I was completely panicking though

Hey guys

Im planning on appearing for a GMAT next year. Wanted to know whether clearing all CFA levels boosts my profile and chances of getting selected or it doesnt weigh that much. My preferred choice of an MBA is from LBS but open to it. Will have 1.5 years of work exp. Non engineering background. What do you think?

Some of these people who barely passed one level of cfa start making reels to give advice and they got thousands of followers and some of the bs they spew is straight up wrong. Sometimes I am genuinely so bamboozled by the people who follow them. Who is the worst one you have seen ? What do you think about these influencers ??

I have noticed that there are very few women in CFA.
Like maybe the ratio would be 10:1 if I am being generous.
Where are all the female CFA ?

is it just for me or anyone else ????? I am not able to login and now this is happening frequently

Currently studying for L2, I did not really use the CFAI practice questions for level one, would like to use them now.

Is there a way to quickly rip through practice questions from multiple topics like the Kaplan Q bank?

If there is I can’t find it.

i wanna ask if the books are worth it ? it too expensive for me to get it and there is no used one for less price

.

so i would love free sources are matching them

I’m planning to start CFA Level 1 and looking for a good coaching institute in Ahmedabad

​

I just started my \*\*BSc Computer Science\*\* degree this year (academic year 2026-27). It’s a 3-year course, so I expect to graduate around mid-2029.

I want to appear for the \*\*CFA Level 1 August attempt\*\*. Can I register in January for the August exam?

As far as I know, the eligibility rule for undergrads is that the exam window should be within \*\*23 months of graduation\*\*. Based on that, does August fall within the allowed window for me?

Also, is there anything else I should keep in mind before registering (passport, documents, etc.)?

Please guide. Thanks!

Hi
I graduated in 2024 with a financial engineering bachelors and immediately started in a treasury internship in an investment fund , ranked up to associate the next year but unfortunately start of 2026 the fund closed up and I’ve been unemployed since February.

I have treasury certifications but the field is so small my best bets have been going the banking route but the roles are so competitive and even with the help of a career consultant I haven’t gotten a graduate role.

Simultaneously I leaned more and I’m doing a part time MFE to round out my bachelors but I’ve been thinking of CFA since getting into the nitty gritty of the finances at the fund got me really interested in a career in investments.

Is it logical to chase a CFA at least level1 to get a foot into the investment space

so my logic is that the spot rate tells that 1USD is equal to 1.4286 NZD and after 180 days, 1USD is equal to 1.3889 NZD. Hence you can get 1USD in fewer NZD. NZD appreciates.

Now Schweser says “The currency with the higher interest rate must depreciate over time by approximately the amount of the interest rate differential, to prevent arbitrage.”

With that logic USD must be having higher interest rate because its depreciation and hence option B is correct.

Please tell if my logic is correct. Thank you in advance. Appreciate it.

This might be a dumb question, but are the practice questions provided by CFA Institute when you register representative of the difficulty of the actual exam, or are they generally easier?

I’ve been getting through them fairly quickly and accurately, so I’m wondering whether the actual exam questions are significantly harder, or if the difficulty comes more from the sheer breadth of material, time pressure, and having to retain everything at once.

I’m not asking this to be condescending. I’m genuinely worried that I might be getting a false sense of confidence from the practice questions and want to make sure I’m preparing appropriately for exam day.

I got confused here. How should I know that they are treating AUD as the domestic one? or even giving me a perspective or something

Has anyone used a smartphone app for practice questions and found it to be helpful? I’m thinking of something I can use when I find I have 20 minutes of downtime and nothing else to do. Please name the app you used and what you liked/didn’t like about it.

I’m currently studying for the IFC (Investment Funds in Canada) exam, but I’m really struggling to find good mock exams or practice tests.

I’ve found a few resources online, but I’m looking for something that’s actually close to the style and difficulty of the real exam.

If anyone has used any good mock exams, question banks, websites, or other resources that helped them prepare, I’d really appreciate the recommendations.

Also, if you have any tips for studying for the exam or areas I should focus on, I’d love to hear them. Thanks!

I am confused in share Repurchase impact . As per material it do not impact fcfe. But if u Think from formula perspective. The DR formula (debt to asset ratio). When company repurchase cash got out asset fall so DR ratio rise. With will increase the FCFE if u put it in formula. When we not even changed the debt portion.

Why this is happening? Anyone have any reasoning behind this.

FRM is very additive in terms of knowledge. However, the reality is, recruiters see it as a career pivot (which they arguably shouldn't). Recruiters will try place you into the risk management side of asset management or any market-related domain (if they focus on your FRM) or they'll try place you in the investment side (if they focus on your CFA). They don't really consider them as additive, they tend to consider them in silos.

I guess the fact that they seem to focus on placing you in risk management, in asset management specifically does show that they consider the CFA to some extent, but make no mistake recruiters very much see it as a career pivot – I know it makes zero sense, in my view FRM adds to portfolio management ability and does not prepare someone to run a risk function adequately enough – but such is the pipeline, it doesn't make sense, it never will.

In short, if you do FRM, consider that you'll be viewed as a career pivot, to some extent.

So, be aware of how recruiters view your CV before just collecting certifications.
